It was a golden Sunday afternoon, and the Autumn Vibes were light and lively in the Community Garden for our second annual Autumn Vibes gathering.  We were delighted to welcome Fort Smith Mayor George McGill and are grateful to all the neighbors, friends, and volunteers who filled the space with energetic warmth and smiles.  Whether you were able to attend or not, I hope you’ll take a moment to scroll through the photos below and celebrate the joy of the day.

Also please note that thanks to a generous anonymous donor, this Sunday also kicked off our year-end $5000 matching challenge.  We’re already more than half way there  and with your help, we’ll soon reach our goal.  All funds raised will support our Resource Center,  energy efficiency starter kits, and outreach.  In 2024, we helped 30 households with utility bill assistance applications, responded to over 50 additional inquiries for help, and distributed 40 weatherization kits.   In 2025, with your support, we’ll continue this important work.
